Kyiv may get €1 bn in profits from frozen Russian assets by July - EU
Quick Glance: Europe Considers Using Profits from Russian Assets to Arm Ukraine
  • Following the freezing of over $300 billion in assets, European leaders may propose utilizing profits from immobilized assets to aid Ukraine.

  • A proposal could offer about $3 billion annually for weapons to support Ukraine in battle as U.S. funding stalls and Ukraine faces desperation.

  • Despite the potential aid for Ukraine, the proposal is viewed by some as not extraordinary but also not negligible.

  • The debate on using frozen assets gains momentum as the EU grapples with how to address Russia's threat to global stability.

Japan: BOJ Ends World's Last Negative Rate With First Hike Since 2007
Quick Glance: Fate of BOJ's Stimulus Tools Revealed
  • The Bank of Japan ended eight years of negative interest rates and other unorthodox measures to boost growth. Details on changes to the stimulating tools were disclosed.

  • The negative interest rate policy was lifted, and the bank now pays a 0.1% interest rate on excess reserves to withdraw money from the economy.

  • Yield curve control was dismantled, but the bank will continue to buy bonds and intervene with larger purchases if bond yields rise rapidly.

  • The purchase of risky assets like ETFs and REITs was discontinued, and the commitment to maintain massive stimulus was withdrawn to reassure the market.
